291 Stop screeching like a banshee (1/2)
Who were these two women?
He cleared his throat and gave a smile. ”I heard that you wish to join in the lesson.”
Ryn and Jacko immediately looked at Mika, waiting for her reply. She was the one who wanted to be in the car too so she should answer the question.
They did not have to wait for long.
”Yes. But I already have a driving licence. I only want to give my best friend support during her lesson,” Mika replied with a smile. She was not being friendly but instead was giving out her business persona. It was slightly different than her usual happy-go-lucky self.
Ryn frowned but did not say a word. Honestly, she did not really like this side of Mika. She worried it would make Mika's depression getting worst when she was too serious with her work.
”Err... give support?” Heinze, the owner of the driving agency choked out in a puzzle. He never received this kind of request before. That was why he came out to really make sure his worker did not pull a prank at him.
But this client was...
Heinze looked at Jacko. Jacko told him earlier how miserable it was teaching this client when she kept yelling even though they had not done anything yet. He did request to change into another instructor but the request was rejected. When the other woman came, Jacko asked him if she was allowed to accompany them in a hope that her presence could make Miss Catherine stop shouting like a crazy woman. He was so desperate he even bought a pair of ear mufflers for today's class.
Heinze wanted to see who was the client that brought horror to his driving instructor. Hence, he was shocked to see two beautiful women were waiting for them at the lobby. One of the women brought horror to Jacko? Was Jacko kidding him?
”I think my request will not affect the driving lesson. I can guarantee you my presence will help,” Mika said calmly. She crossed her arms and acted like a typical spoiled little heiress, another persona of hers which she had mastered perfectly. ”I can even pay.”
Heinze and Jacko looked at her in shock. Their jaw dropped.
”Enough, Mika. Stop scaring them,” Ryn finally spoke. She could no longer hold herself. Why was Mika acting this was?
”Me?” Mika pointed at her face in shock. Then, she cleared her throat and looked away. She was sulking but she could not throw tantrum here. Ryn would hate her. She did not want to be hated by Ryn.
”I'm sorry for disturbing your time,” Ryn apologized to Heinze. She even lowered her head a bit to show how sorry she was.
Unwillingly, Mika obeyed. She was not happy with this. Not at all.
Heinze had to forgive them. What else could he do? The customer was always right.
He watched as the three of them entered the car with Jacko driving it. He sighed and shook his head. Next time, he might need to add another rule for a future customer. No spoiled heiress.
Ryn took a deep breath to calm herself as they were getting closer to the field. She was a bit nervous for her second lesson. She already learned the basic of driving from Jacko. Today, she was supposed to practice what she learned yesterday.
”Why are you so quiet, Ryn? Are you scared?” Mika asked suddenly. She noticed how paled her friend's face turned and it brought worry in her heart. Was Ryn ready for this? Wasn't the time too short for her to start back?
”I… I am okay,” Ryn gulped. She tried to look strong but the shiver all over her body betrayed the bravery she tried to portray. She was scared, to be honest. Maybe it was too soon for her?
”Don't worry, Ryn. You can do it,” Mika cheered from the back. She tried to soothe the worry in Ryn's heart.
Jacko did not say anything. He was actually scared of the time for this client to start driving. Would he face the same yell? He shivered uncontrollably. Please, let today be as peaceful as possible. His poor ears could not take it.
He glanced at the woman sitting at the back via the rear mirror, praying hard to the God that this woman would help to make his little wish came true. He just wanted to have a peaceful driving lesson as possible without a ghost screeching next to his ears.
